BIG TECH
The 1998 movie Enemy of the State starring Gene Hackman and Will Smith seemed like fiction at the time. Why I didn’t regard that movie – which still holds up in nearly every detail – as a warning I do not know. It pulls back the curtain on the close working relationship between national security agencies and the communications industry – spying, censorship, blackmailing, and worse. Today, it seems not just a warning but a description of reality.
There is no longer any doubt at all about the symbiotic relationship between Big Tech – the digital communications industry in particular – and government. The only issue we need to debate is which of the two sectors are more decisive in driving the loss of privacy, free speech, and liberty in general.
Not only that: I’ve been involved in many debates over the years, always taking the side of technology over those who warned of the coming dangers. I was a believer, a techno-utopian and could not see where this was headed.

154 Scientists at Los Alamos Nuke Lab Sold Military Secrets to China By Pamela Geller
A security firm called Strider Technologies published a report this week that said China paid leading scientists at America’s Los Alamos National Laboratory hefty sums of money to conduct research for the Chinese Communist government, including research with military applications that could threaten U.S. national security.
The report, titled The Los Alamos Club: How the People’s Republic of China Recruited Leading Scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory to Advance its Military Programs, offered a rather straightforward answer to its titular question — China recruited those scientists by offering them up to a million dollars each, and at least 154 of them accepted.

The Disintegration Accelerates by Joseph DeMaio
“THE WEAPONRY OF WORDS”
Your humble servant has on numerous prior occasions – thus far without much tangible result – warned of the potential for a second civil war. The intentional destruction by Democrats, progressives, and intellectual hypocrites of the foundational principles upon which the Republic was founded – and which until recently had facilitated its rise to becoming the most powerful, benevolent and prosperous nation in world history – now threatens to reduce it to a shadow of its former self. And soon, even the structure which casts the shadow may disappear. Such is the goal of the radical progressives now controlling the Democrat Party.
This intentional destruction, of course, has been led by Marxists, socialists, fascists, “globalists” and, naturally, the radical judges and politicians of the Democrat Party and their enabling apparatchiks and sycophants in the mainstream media. Ignore their lies to the contrary.
America’s Future: The Case for Optimism by John Anthony
“THE TRUTH IS GETTING THROUGH”
The daily assaults on America’s culture can make it hard to find hope. Attacks on our monetary system, the imprisonment of political dissenters, the DOJ’s vendetta against Trump and anyone pro-America, Soviet style censorship, and the attempted gender modifications of our children seem too much like world control is here.
Yet, every issue we face is the result of a single problem. When we recognize, solve, and attack that, we can restore the nation we love. Let me explain.
Ken Burns Exploits the Holocaust by
And covers up liberal complicity in the murder of six million Jews.
Timed to extract maximum donations from liberal Jews around the High Holy Days, PBS is airing “The U.S. and the Holocaust” not to set the record straight, but to cover it up yet again by whitewashing the FDR administration and exploiting the Holocaust to call for open borders.
Jews and the Holocaust are nothing but useful talking points to Burns. His interest begins with the “slave trade” and concludes with the Capitol Riot. The message of the “The U.S. and the Holocaust” is that Republicans are the new Nazis, Burns is one of the heroes calling them out and Stephen Miller, Trump’s Jewish adviser, is the new Breckinridge Long, a Democrat Nazi sympathizer who used his position as an FDR crony to keep Jews out of America.
Not that Burns is willing to indict FDR. Instead, he fashionably blames Long and other staffers who were just doing FDR’s dirty work for him: turning his series into more revisionism. But telling the truth about FDR would also destroy the false binary on antisemitism that is the only reason that Burns decided to tackle the Holocaust. That and the pledge drive donations for PBS.
The only story about the Holocaust that Burns would make, PBS would air and liberals would buy is one in which conservatives are villains and liberals, including FDR, are heroes. And the Jews, unless they have the right politics, are the villains, while the two million illegals crossing the border are the new Jews. Burns combines revisionism and supersessionism in one.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Tierney’s Real News
People ask me: “What was the moment you realized that we truly were in a spiritual battle for our nation – between good and evil – that went way beyond politics and party?”
It was the day in 2019 that I wrote this article about what I observed at Drag Queen Story Hour in my neighborhood in Minneapolis. That was the day I decided I would be silent no more….Jesus was my Lord & Savior and this was NOT what he wanted for His children!
[Ed.: A Random Thought:
Imagine if DeSantis from Florida were to catch the FBI and/or the Department of Justice in their illegal activities in Florida, and call up the National Guard. Then arrest the leaders and incarcerate them, and kick out the rest of them from Florida. Then call for a Constitutional Conference to replace the Federal Government. Remember the Federal Government is a fiction of the imagination of the States that created it. Maybe it’s time to ‘clean house’ and make a new start. That would really ruffle the feathers of those who pull the strings of the Biden regime!
COVID-19
How Corruption Dictates the Practice of Medicine A Midwestern Doctor
Steve Kirsch recently wrote an excellent article highlighting three “scientists” whose guideline recommendations were ultimately responsible for the deaths of nearly a million Americans. To summarize: It shows that there are dozens of treatments for COVID-19 that have numerous peer reviewed studies demonstrating their efficacy. Despite those existing therapeutics and countless petitions for their usage, the committee responsible for developing the guidelines on what is an appropriate treatment for COVID-19 has only approved remdesivir, which is a toxic drug with no therapeutic value for treating COVID-19. As a result, a dangerous drug has been mandated, while many drugs that would save lives are prohibited in most medical systems.
Evidence based medicine is commonly thought to mean “the best evidence” dictates the standard of care. In reality, it typically means financial interests dictate the standard of care and “evidence” is just used as a smokescreen to justify profiteering. This table that I initially discovered from Kirsch’s article provides clear and unambiguous proof of that contention. See if you can figure out what the circled drugs (those which received an EUA) all have in common!
Dr. Paul Marik on why doctors aren’t speaking out [48:54] Steve Kirsch
My blue pilled friends can’t figure out why, if the vaccines are so dangerous, aren’t more doctors speaking out. Here’s why.
My blue pilled friends who believe the vaccines are safe have told me they would reconsider their position if just a single one of their own doctors came out against the vaccine. One of them said even if a “TV doctor” (such as Sanjay Gupta) said it was unsafe, they would reconsider their position.
I told them that doctors are afraid to speak out because they will lose their ability to practice medicine if they challenge the mainstream narrative.
My friends find that too hard to believe. They asked me incredulously, “Why would the medical community silence doctors who are trying to save lives?”
They didn’t believe my answer.
Leaked Video Expose Israel’s Covid Vaccine Side Effects Coverup
Israel has frequently been the first nation to report on the efficacy and safety of vaccines. Its data has frequently been used by American organizations, such as the CDC. Now, a leaked video has exposed Israel’s Covid vaccine side effects coverup.
According to a leaked video, Israeli researchers discovered that several adverse reactions that happened after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine were brought on by Pfizer’s vaccine.
The Israeli Ministry of Health (MoH) recruited researchers to examine adverse event reports provided by Israelis, and the researchers presented data from the new monitoring system in an official conference in June 2022, a meeting whose tape was acquired by an Israeli journalist.
According to researchers, the phenomenon of rechallenge, which occurs when undesirable effects recur or get worse after more vaccination doses, demonstrated that some of the events were brought on by the vaccine.
According to the researchers, who also found instances of rechallenge for other adverse events, 10% of the women who had menstruation problems reported a positive rechallenge.
… “According to Dr. Robert Malone, who helped create the messenger RNA (mRNA) technology on which Pfizer’s vaccine is based, rechallenge is a “standard pharmaceutical clinical trial practice” that can offer solid proof of causality.According to Malone, “the reports of rechallenge in the Israeli study do not prove causality.” According to him, only a formal rechallenge trial would suffice. However, the study “strongly suggests and supports causality,” he said.
The Epoch Times received an email from Dr. Harvey Risch, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, stating that the researchers’ findings that the adverse events were brought on by the immunizations “are essentially correct.”
Dr. Aseem Malhotra promoted Covid-19 vaccine on TV, now says stop Robert W Malone MD, MS
[He] calls for its immediate suspension
The Journal of Insulin Resistance has published In a two-part research paper entitled “ Curing the pandemic of misinformation on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines through real evidence-based medicine,”
This was written by one of UK’s most eminent Cardiologists Dr. Aseem Malhotra, who was one of the first to take two doses of the vaccine and promote it on @Good Morning Britain. Dr. Malhotra now says that since the rollout of the vaccine the evidence of its effectiveness and true rates of adverse events have changed and now “there is a strong scientific, ethical, and moral case to be made that COVID-19 vaccines rollout must stop immediately until raw data has been released for fully independent scrutiny.”
Furthermore, real-world data reveals that in the non-elderly population, the number needed to vaccinate to prevent one death from Covid-19 runs into thousands and that re-analysis of randomized controlled trial data from the initial vaccine clinical trials suggests a greater risk of suffering a serious adverse event from the vaccine than to be hospitalized with Covid-19.
Summary overviews of the two-part research paper are below, together with a transcript of the above video in which he introduces his findings.
Covid Conspiracy Uncovered by Lloyd Billingsley
“Everyone had to agree to the narrative,” says former CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield.
“The potential for conspiracy is really on the other side. The conspiracy is [former National Institutes of Health director Francis] Collins, Fauci, and the established scientific community that has acted in an antithetical way to science.”
So said Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control, in a September 15 interview with Paul Thacker’s Disinformation Chronicle newsletter. According to Redfield, “Everyone had to agree to the narrative” enforced by Dr. Anthony Fauci and other health officials that the COVID-19 virus came from a “wet market” in Wuhan and not the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). And Dr. Fauci “clearly misled Congress,” about funding dangerous gain-of-function research at the WIV.

ELECTION
So Italy ‘braces’? By Monica Showalter
Italy held an election, and a conservative, anti-socialist, anti-illegal immigration candidate has now won.
In Europe, that’s a big deal, given that upstart-type conservative candidates have generally fallen just a little short of winning any power of any kind over the past two decades.
The victory of Giorgia Meloni, first woman prime minister of Italy, has shocked the press, as well as the local European Union devotees, and practically all of them are now using the word “brace,” as a means of describing what happened. It’s like a memo went out.

Recent Speech by Italy’s New Leader Giorgia Meloni Shows Her Love for God, Family and Homeland [15:09] By Joe Hoft
The new leader of Italy is a conservative woman who loves God, her family, and her country. She shared her thoughts in early 2020 at an event in Rome.
In the 15-minute speech below, Giorgia Meloni shares her remarks at the God, Honor, Country: President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and the Freedom of Nations – A National Conservatism Conference in Rome, Italy – February 3, 2020.
Here are some highlights from her speech:
Our worldview is the exact opposite of what they would like to force on us…
…Our main enemy today is the globalist drift of those who view identity and all its forms to be an evil to overcome. And constantly ask to shift real power away from the people to super-national entities headed by supposedly enlightened elites.
Let us be clear in our mind, because we did not fight against and defeat communism in order to replace it with a new international regime, but to permit independent nation states once again to defend the freedom, identity and sovereignty of their peoples…
…As a serious alternative to the beaurocratic super state ..and although that someone in Brussels or Frankfort, Davos or the City of London, lacks democratic legitimacy, everyday it commissions the economic choices and political decisions of those who have invested in that legitimacy by their popular vote.
It means that whether the false democrats like it or not, national conservatives in every latitude are actually the only real Democrats. Because it is only by defending the nation states, that we defend the political sovereignty that belongs to the citizens of that state…
Meloni goes on to talk highly of Ronald Reagan and President Trump. Watch the entire speech below which Meloni gives in English.
[Ed.: Please hear the 15-minute speech she gives within this article! For me, this is highly significant. It means that elections can still work, and that the people can preside over the globalists. It means that (actually,) there is still hope.]

The EU is sleepwalking into anarchy BY THOMAS FAZI
Feeble politicians have condemned the working class
All eyes may be on the Italian election results this morning, but Europe’s got much bigger problems on its hands than the prospect of a Right-wing government. Winter is coming, and the catastrophic consequences of Europe’s self-imposed energy crisis are already being felt across the continent.
As politicians continue to devise unrealistic plans for energy rationing, the reality is that soaring energy prices and falling demand have already caused dozens of plants across a diverse range of energy-intensive industries — glass, steel, aluminium, zinc, fertilisers, chemicals — to cut back production or shut down, causing thousands of workers to be laid off. Even the pro-war New York Times was recently forced to acknowledge the “crippling” impact that Brussels’s sanctions are having on industry and the working class in Europe. “High energy prices are lashing European industry, forcing factories to cut production quickly and put tens of thousands of employees on furlough,” it reported.

Here comes massive bloodshed while the Biden regime funds it…… monstrous.

Money that Iran’s leaders will use to dominate it’s citizens even further. Absolutely shameful. Watch below.
VIDEO: Iranian Regime Thugs Fire on Protesters from their Motorcycles – Drive-By Killer By Jim Hoft
The uprisings in Iran continue as protestors have started calling it a “Revolution” and claiming certain towns and neighborhoods in Tehran have been liberated from the Islamic dictatorship. Police, Bassiji militia and Revolutionary guards have started shooting randomly at protestors.
At least 50 protesters are now believed dead. [Emphasis added]
Video was published today of Iranian regime thugs firing on protesters in the street.
You can see the women screaming and ducking as the regime thugs fire at them.
Pamela Geller in The American Thinker: Biden Crushing Iran’s Freedom Revolution, Just As Obama Did By Pamela Geller
First post reported Wednesday: “Over the past few days, protests have erupted across Iran after a 22-year-old woman died while being held by the morality police for violating the country’s strictly enforced Islamic dress code. Anger has seen women remove their mandatory headscarves, or hijabs, from covering their hair after the death of Mahsa Amini, who was picked up by morality police over her allegedly loose headscarf.”
Yet as Iran’s leaders continue to crack down on their citizens who yearn for freedom and liberty, the Biden administration shows no support for Iran’s protesters. The Biden administration relentlessly appeases this brutal and murderous regime. The people of Iran are courageously protesting for freedom, all while the Biden administration emboldens Iran’s murderous leaders with billions of dollars in sanctions relief. Biden has released billions to the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, while working furiously to nuclearize the Islamic state. Biden’s handlers continue to beg the haughty mullahs to re-enter the JCPOA, the disastrous nuclear deal that Barack Obama concluded with the Islamic Republic, and the President Trump wisely discontinued. Biden’s handlers’ version is even worse.
Biden’s appeasement of Iran is just like the appeasement policy of Barack Obama. And just like the appeasement pursued by Jimmy Carter.

The Central Bureau of Statistics published this week its final demographic figures ahead of the upcoming Jewish new year.
According to the report, Israel currently has 9,593,000 residents, with that number expected to cross 10 million at the end of 2024 and 15 million at the end of 2048. Israel’s population will have essentially doubled by the end of 2065, the report says.

Israel’s ‘Peace Partner’ Is Slaughtering Israelis by Khaled Abu Toameh
▪These two bodies [Palestinian Authority (PA) and its ruling faction, Fatah] are headed by one man: Mahmoud Abbas, who has zero compunction about his loyalists murdering and wounding Israelis. On the contrary, he encourages it and pays generously for it — with money from Europe and the United States.
- Despite [an extremely long list of terrorist attacks against Israel], Fatah is also often mystifyingly referred to by some Israelis and Westerners as a “moderate” Palestinian faction as opposed to the Iranian-backed Palestinian Islamist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
- Fatah, however, has proved over the years that its actions and rhetoric are actually no different from those of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the terror groups that openly call for the elimination of Israel.
- In 1993, Yasser Arafat, then leader of Fatah and the PLO, committed “to a peaceful resolution of the conflict” with Israel and claimed that the PLO “renounces the use of terrorism and other acts of violence.” His loyalists, however, continued to murder and wound Israelis even after making these commitments, signing the Oslo Accords and supposedly beginning an Israeli-Palestinian “peace process.”
- The groups are so proud of their terrorism that they have started filming their gunmen preparing and carrying out the attacks. They are, in addition, calling on Palestinians to escalate the fight against Israel, while enthusiastically and warmly endorsing the terrorists.
- The growing involvement of Fatah and PA members in terrorism is one of the direct results of the Palestinian leadership’s extreme incitement against Israel. Abbas and his aides continue to level the worst charges and libels against Israel. It is this kind of rhetoric, as well as generous payments, that encourage Palestinians to carry out attacks against Israelis. The fact that Abbas and his entourage do not even bother to rein in or denounce the terrorists is apparently seen by many Palestinians as a green light to continue the attacks.
- The international community, for its part, is so preoccupied with bashing Israel that no one is calling out these putative Palestinian “peace partners” over their role in terrorism. This silence is also encouraging these Palestinian “peace partners” to continue their attacks.
- That is why the Fatah-affiliated Lions’ Den group has felt confident enough to publish a new threat: “O Jews, The Countdown For Your Demise Has Begun; Stabbings, Car-Rammings, Clashes.”
- This is the “peace partner” that the Biden administration is hoping to assist in establishing a Palestinian state next to Israel. With a partner like this, it is easy to imagine what the situation in the Middle East will look like — more violence, terrorism and bloodshed. Israel’s “peace partners” are doing everything in their power to confirm the fears of Israelis about the presence of a Palestinian state just a handful of kilometers from their homes.

A group of Oath Keepers, including leader Stewart Rhodes, will be forced to go to trial prematurely this week after numerous attempts by their attorneys to push their trial until January and outside of Washington DC.
The presiding Judge Amit Mehta denied their motions for Change of Venue and Continuance.
This is what they have been waiting for – a seditious conspiracy conviction to “prove” January 6th was an “insurrection” and tie it all to Trump – to prevent him from running again and even to possible use to arrest him.
“It is clear the DOJ is trying to politicize this trial and illegally sway the midterm elections,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “They will do anything in their power to make sure this trial happens and there are guilty convictions for the innocent.”

5 Reasons Central Bank Digital Currencies Are Actually Worse Than You Probably Realize JD Rucker
Most of us are aware that Central Bank Digital Currencies are very bad. But some may not realize just how bad they are. To say they’re an existential threat to America is not hyperbole.
There’s a series of reactions “normies” have when they learn about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). First, there is curiosity, especially among those who have dabbled with cryptocurrencies. After all, one of the biggest drawbacks of cryptocurrencies is their adoption; you just can’t buy very many things with them unless you jump through a bunch of hoops.
The next reaction is hope. If CBDCs are automatically drawn or deposited from your accounts, it makes transactions seem easier. It’s like a credit card, right, just more digital. The powers-that-be are saying they’re secure. Corporate media is playing them up as a real convenience. Who wants to hand out filthy cash back and forth between strangers at the convenience store?
As this stage, the evolving reactions to CBDCs diverge. Many “normies” forget all about them and go about their business. Some start to get that hint of concern in the backs of their minds, especially if they’re politically conservative. What sort of controls will government have over us as a result of CBDC adoption? Will they know everything we buy and sell? Will those records be easily accessible to others? Could they shut us down if we get out of line like the truckers in Canada?
My audience almost certainly bypassed stage one and two and went straight to skepticism the first time they heard about CBDCs. Yes, they mean more control over our money from government. Yes, they mean our financial privacy will be non-existent. And yes, the government can shut us down if we get out of line. But it’s actually even worse than all that.
An interesting Substack hit my feed that details much of the current situation regarding CBDCs and why we should be very concerned. I would go so far as to say we should be much more than concerned. We should fight this with the same fervor that we’d fight off a pack of wolves trying to eat our families. CBDCs represent an existential threat to our way of life. This isn’t just about freedom or privacy. This is about losing our abilities to fight against tyranny. It’s a half-notch below gun confiscations as far as detrimental effects on our future. Just as taking away the 2nd Amendment would remove our ability to dissuade the rise of tyranny, so too would widespread CBDC adoption remove our ability to operate outside of the government-prescribed system.

Stock market news live updates: S&P hits new closing low, stocks tumble again as Fed fears, currency turmoil persist Alexandra Semenova
U.S. stocks had yet another losing session Monday, as the S&P 500 hit a new 2022 closing low and the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s decline put the index officially into a bear market. Equities were poised for more turbulence this week as fears of excessive Fed tightening and a wild run in currency markets rattle investors.
The S&P 500 barreled down 1%, while the Dow shed more than 300 points, or about 1.1%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite sank 0.6%, erasing a gain of more than 1% earlier in the trading day. Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX), which measures Wall Street’s expectations for short-term market volatility, rose above 31, its highest level since June 17.
Russia’s Nord Stream 2 Pipeline to Germany Loses Pressure Overnight from 300 to 7 Bars – Cause Unknown By Jim Hoft
In 2018 during his speech to the UN General Assembly President Donald Trump lodged a warning to Germany about their country’s reliance on Russian energy.
The German delegation laughed on camera at the remarks.
[Ed.: Yup, it “died suddenly”, Germany is “baffled”.]
German Energy Apocalypse Update V eugyppius
Germany has nationalised the gas importer Uniper, to save it from insolvency in the face of the Gazprom gas stoppage. Robert Habeck’s earlier scheme to save Uniper and other importers involved the imposition of a gas surcharge of 2.4 cents per kilowatt hour on all consumers, but the government appears ready to scrap this plan just days before it was set to go into effect. Instead, some politicians are now talking of capping gas prices, though as far as I can tell, nobody has any idea how.
As the pressure builds and the first closures begin, Germany is entering an economic recession, and there are everyday renewed cracks in the political edifice. Minister President of Saxony Michael Kretschmer (CDU) – no fringe political figure – recently remarked that Germany “cannot do without Russian gas” and acknowledged that EU sanctions are to blame for the shortage, but he stopped short of demanding that Nord Stream 2 be opened; instead, he hopes for a return to Russian gas after the Ukraine war has ended.
The Greens in government remain committed to taking Germany’s remaining nuclear power plants offline by the end of the year, hoping that enough French nuclear plants will return to service over the winter to cover any resulting shortages. It is hard to imagine a more farcical approach to nuclear energy. Meanwhile, the head mayor of Berlin has suggested that two- or three-hour periods of load-shedding may be necessary to keep the electrical grid functional over the winter. Other experts, while downplaying the risk of uncontrolled outages, have raised the possibility load-shedding as well, confirming that these are very real contingency plans and that we’re being prepared for them. The stated concern is invariably that local or regional gas shortages will cause the widespread activation of electrical heaters and overwhelm the grid, though how exactly this could be anticipated far enough in advanced for scheduled outages is unclear to me.
DOJ: 47 in Minnesota’s Somali Community Charged with Stealing $250M in COVID-19 Funds from Child Nutrition Program By Pamela Geller
There’s an Ilhan Ilhan Omar angle and a Mecca angle (Daniel Greenfield).
The Feds staked out various Feeding Our Future meal sites and found no one at the places that were supposed to be feeding 50,000 children. According to the FBI, the money being stolen wasn’t used to feed children, it went into various shell companies and fronts operated by Somalis and was used to buy everything from a Porsche to African properties.
According to the Twin Cities Pioneer Press, S&S Catering led by Qamar Ahmed Hassan received $13.8 million in federal funds. The FBI warrants note that, “Qamar Ahmed Hassan wrote approximately $27,000 in checks from S&S Catering bank accounts… to Amax Travel, a travel agency that specializes in Haji travel packages.”

All through the past year and more, suspicious fires and accidents have devastated numerous plants all over the country that produce the very things that Leftists hate: oil and gas, beef (and chicken, and all meat), and coal. Coincidence? Maybe. After all, the gentle folks of Antifa and their fascist allies, who don’t hesitate to burn down cities and tear down statues of our Founding Fathers, wouldn’t dare try to interfere with the production of commodities that they’re determined to make us stop using, right? Surely they wouldn’t stoop so low. Surely!

With Guns Drawn, FBI SWAT Raids Home of Christian Activist as His Screaming Children Watch By Pamela Geller
America under the illegitimate Democrat regime is UNRECOGNIZABLE.
Whatever your position on abortion, this is inhuman, unconstitutional and immoral.
Over the past few months, we have witnessed pregnancy centers firebombed, attacked and destroyed with no prosecution or follow up. This man did nothing wrong.
[Ed.: Does the FBI ever do anything that ISN’t wrong? Our ‘ABC Agencies’ are all rogue organizations that must be removed from our governmental structure.]
Did the FBI Finally Go Too Far? By Jack Cashill
On reading about the Saturday arrest of pro-life activist Mark Houck, I thought the author at this alternative site had to be exaggerating. It struck me as beyond belief that two dozen or so armed FBI agents would swarm the house of a Catholic father of seven, rifles drawn, and arrest him in front of his weeping children for anything short of murder.
I have had to recalibrate my belief system. The “crime” fell quite a bit short of murder. On October 13, 2021, Houck brought his 12-year-old son with him for his weekly sidewalk counseling outside of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Philadelphia. A volunteer escort at the abortion clinic reportedly called Houck’s son a “fag” among other insults and threatened him. Houck pushed the man away from his son, and the man fell. Houck, the founder of an organization that promotes Christian virtue among men, was not charged with a crime.
However petty the incident, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, had Houck seized at gunpoint nearly a year later and bragged about the arrest. Said PR hack Jennifer Crandall in a press release, Houck “assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort.”
Before proceeding, this sentence needs parsing. The most problematic word is “because.” Houck has had hundreds of opportunities to assault escorts if their offense in his eyes was to be an escort. Although the press release claims two incidents on that same day with the man, Houck had no prior or subsequent altercations.

Iodine Tablets Being Distributed as Ukraine Conflict Heats Up, Nuclear Fears Blaze By Jack Davis
The Polish government, fearing that the war in neighboring Ukraine could lead to a nuclear event, is giving out iodine tablets to be ready for the worst.
Two varieties of nuclear contamination are feared. One is from an explosion at a Ukrainian nuclear power plant and the other through Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s threat that nuclear weapons could be used in the invasion that began seven months ago.
As part of its national preparedness, Poland is giving regional fire departments iodine tablets for later possible distribution, according to Reuters. Iodine is considered a preventive measure against some forms of radiation exposure.
“After the media reports about battles near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant we decided… ahead of time to take protective action to distribute iodine,” deputy interior minister Blazej Pobozy said.
“I would like to reassure all citizens that these are routine, pre-emptive actions that are to protect us in the event of a situation which… I hope will not happen,” he said.
The Ukrainian nuclear power plant of Zaporizhzhia has come under fire multiple times during the war.
Russia has since targeted a nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, according to NPR.
On Monday, a missile hit about 300 yards from the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear plant, also called the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant, according to its operator, Energoatom.
